Thorneless Flowers

Frail, delicate, beautifully tender
Steals into life a thornless flower.
Bereft, hopeless craves for a mother
Cursed, gets spleen, lifelong hunger

Heinous, uncaring nature to discover
Sprouting up into a paling color
Precious dreams slowly melt into vapor
Bleak , sorely dying stalks wither

Soft fry, street old stager
lives and dies, utter stranger.
